Football is a family tradition for San Antonio (Texas) Brennan linebacker Grant Watanabe.

Gridiron is in his blood. Two uncles played at BYU. Another, Tony Moeaki, is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. His cousin, Stanley Havili, is currently a fullback for the Philadelphia Eagles. The list of football family goes on and on and also includes San Antonio (Texas) Warren defensive tackle, Trey Lealaimatafao, who has seen offers from around the country placed on the table over the last two months.

The 5-11, 215-pound linebacker set out to make a name of his own in 2012. It is safe to say he accomplished that mission earning unanimous all-district honors and being named San Antonio-area defensive player of the year after recording 167 tackles, 29 TFLs, three sacks, and three interceptions as a captain for the 13-1 Brennan Bears.
